Read the owners manual mostly the diesel supplements. You can find them online right now at http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...&menuIndex1=17

You can also look at the tech folder above this posting for the 6.4. Lots of good reading.

Maintance is very important for this motor.

Congratz. Hope it treats you well, but it Requires care. Follow the manuals and keep the engine clean, they can get hot and do not like dust/dirt/oil all over them.
